The objective of this research is to conduct an investigation into the attitudes of primary pupils towards using Flipgrid in learning English speaking skills in a Year 4 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) classroom. The research used a mixed-methods approach using an explanatory sequential design. Data collection was via a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews with 60 CEFR primary Year 4 pupils with low English-speaking proficiency. The results of the questionnaire were analysed descriptively, whereas the data from the semi-structured interviews was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings showed that primary pupils in a CEFR classroom had a high positive attitude towards using Flipgrid to learn English speaking skills. This research has highlighted the potential use of Flipgrid in both learning and teaching English speaking skills in a CEFR classroom. More extensive research into the use of Flipgrid by secondary pupils in a CEFR classroom would be of further interest. Future research on this topic may provide greater insight into the different ways in which English educators can teach English speaking skills to secondary pupils. Moreover, the results could provide useful information to the Ministry of Education on the use of the e-learning approach in the learning and teaching of English speaking skills in the Malaysian CEFR classroom.

Partnership Approach

The process for developing social policies in the Palestinian Territories has undergone several changes in recent years. Most recently, the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) formally adopted the partnership approach whereby policies are developed with participation by the civil society sector and international donor organizations. However, it is unclear whether these partnerships have been realized as little is known about the power relationships between PNA and these other parties. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 16 Palestinian ministry officials and a review of archival materials. The findings confirmed that Palestinian agencies, civil sector organizations, and international donor organizations are now helping formulate anti-poverty policies. However, the partnerships are far from balanced or equal. Due to strained relationships with the PNA characterized by tension, conflict, and competition, the influence of the civil society sector remains modest. Conversely, international donor organizations continue to exert extraordinary influence on the policy-making process through financial and technical assistance. Implications for policy and future research are discussed.

Abstract Objectives To expand on previous survey-based research that provided a basic understanding of dietitian perspectives on app use by exploring factors that are influencing dietitian decision-making regarding the use and recommendation of apps with individual clients. Methods 20–60-minute semi-structured interviews conducted in-person, over the phone, or via videoconferencing from November 2019 to July 2020 with U.S. dietitians (n = 20) working in outpatient practice. Interview audio transcribed verbatim. Qualitative thematic analysis of interview transcripts. The creation of an audit trail, memos, and peer debriefing were used to enhance trustworthiness. Results Years in practice ranged from 2–42. Weight management and diabetes were most common counseling topics. Several factors that influence dietitian decision-making appear to limit a dietitians’ optimal use of apps, including current payment structure, limited app usability, and a dietitian's familiarity with available apps. Current payment structures typically don't compensate dietitians for time spent outside of visits to review app data or communicate/provide feedback to clients via the app. Participants described having difficulty finding apps for non-English speaking clients, clients with low literacy, and clients with complex dietary restrictions. A dietitian's familiarity with available apps also influenced if they were able to find apps that included desired features. Conclusions Despite noting potential benefits of app use, dietitians are not utilizing apps as frequently as desired due to current payment structures, app feature and usability limitations, and the overabundance of apps without sufficient time or guidance for assessing available apps. Future research and policies to address these limitations could greatly improve the efficacy and use of apps in dietetics. Funding Sources None
